Goofs:
Continuity: In a movie show at the beginning the film, there is a car, lettered with "First National Bank" drawn out of a swamp that's said to have been used in a hold-up of John Dillinger's. Later in the movie we learn that his First National heist was on a train, not a car.

I continue to be amazed at the ratings some movies get here. I just saw this snappy little movie and thought sure it would get a higher rating that 6.3. I agree with the another viewer's description of it being a "lean, mean, cheapo." A cheapo yes, but one where not a penny is spent on extraneous scenes. A nice antidote to higher-budgeted (and more highly rated) movies where we're made to spend hours watching actors doing virtually nothing in never-ending, story-killing close-ups. I'd watch this one again in a heartbeat.
